The other day my co worker asked me if I ever played the 'What If' game. I said No because I didn't know what it was.
She said each person takes a turn. When it is your turn, you say what if something didn't happen how your life would be different. For example, if I didn't work at my current job, I would've have met my ex. If I didn't meet my ex, then my life would be better..hahhah... I did learn some culinary skills because he is a chef. If I didn't meet him, which direction would my life be? Maybe I would've met someone better? Maybe I would be married now? Who knows? That was the choice I made then.
The concept/idea of the game really made me think. It made me think about the decisions I make. Do I make the decisions because I have thought about the answer? or thought about how my future will take shape? or because it is just a gut feeling? I think most of the time it is just gut feeling. My subconscious mind leads my conscious mind. It knows more about my life than I am aware. It leads me to the right direction. It does the steering of my life. Sometimes my gut feelings steers me in the wrong direction to teach me a lesson. I have to realize the lesson before I move on. Then I have to take the lessons I have learned to make better decisions.

interesting... Kinda reminds me of that jim belushi movie... What if he had hit that baseball when he was in highschool? He would have been sucessful, have a beautiful wife and kids, and in the end he was happy with what he had... (Took a pause to imdb)... The movie I was thinking of was Mr Destiny. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100201/
ReplyDeleteAnyways I often wonder what if I won the presidential election in grade 11. I would have been in the student council in grade 12, and perhaps my life would have lead me to a path of student leadership. I've enjoyed my term as a Director at Vancouver Community College, and now I'm back to working a job... But what if I got more involved, and kept going with the student movement? Just one of the what if's I'll probably have the answer to when someone grants me my wish.
